  • Preheat oven at 350 °F (180 C). Set cake mixture over blueberries and smooth the preparation. Oven bake 50 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, heat cream in a casserole. Pour cream over chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Stir to melt everything up.
  • Over the cake, lay strawberries, few blueberries and pour down the ganache (mix of cream and chocolate) with a spoon.
